Andy, Laura, and John have arrived at Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation and Order of the Arrow Conclave has begun.
Order of the Arrow Conclave
Thief
Jim is a thief. He keeps appearing on my desk to steal my star stress ball. I keep rescuing the star, but I am guessing it will disappear from my desk soon…
Green and Black Ride
The Big Tree Cycling Green and Black ride is back for the year. I joined them at Shakespeare’s Pizza afterwards for some drinks and pizza. It is always a great way to end a Wednesday night.
Wine Tasting
We went to Macadoodles this evening for a wine tasting with Musket Cellars wines. It was great to support our friends!
Graduation Announcements
It is time to get the formal graduation announcements mailed and to get the graduation open house announcements ready to mail!
Fire
It was a “relax by the fire” kind of evening.
Eagle Project Build – Day 2
Day 2 of the Eagle project build went so well.
Five scouts, four adults, and Matt from EMS Education were there to help with the build.
While John did not need that many people for the build itself, he definitely needed that many people to lift and move the helicopter trainer.
The final step was to add the skid of the helicopter to make it more realistic for training.
Now, he has to complete all the paperwork that goes along with an Eagle project and earn those final four merit badges.
John – It goes without saying that I am so proud of you – whether you make Eagle or not. However, you sure have come a long, long way. You got this, Kid. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT. I have to admit that it would be pretty amazing watching your Eagle Scout sister make sure you are wearing the correct uniform at your Eagle Court of Honor. I love you, John. Let’s finish this.
